Anaconda, “sey. o—_————______-"-—"° i Livestock | ~ steers and elasses scarce, ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, Tribune’s Grain, Livestock and Market Report for Mon., May STOCKS TURN LOWER AS DOLLAR RALLIES ON FOREIGN MARTS French Bonds Slump; Several Leaders Down Point or More At Finish New York, May 8.—(#)—Stocks and grains, holding firm most of the day, turned irregularly lower in the late trading when the American dollar displayed rallying tendencies in for- eign exchange markets and French bonds slumped. Losses were not se- vere, although several of the leaders were down a point or more at the fin- ish. Transfers approximated 3,100,- 900 shares. Traders, apparently favorably im- pressed by President Roosevelt's ra- dio address, ran some of the favorites up 1 to 3 or more points around the noon hour, but prices started to slip about delivery time as the grains turned a trifle heavy and only a few issues were able to emerge with mod- erate gains. French government '1%s dropped around 11 points before rallying moderately. DuPont was especially in demand at an advance of nearly 4 points at one time, but it was only slightly ahead as the gong rang. General Motors, strong most of the session, emerged slightly under water.

Abnormally wet weather that has 1, | hampered field work and endangered the safety of the 1933 corn crop was largely responsible. Wheat was bear- as to how various provisions of the new farm bill would be administered. Profit-taking at the last, however, wiped out virtually all the corn price gains. Corn closed irregular, at 3-8 decline to 1-4 advance, compared with Saturday's finish, May 42 3-8 to 5-8; July 44 5-8 to 7-8; wheat 5-8 to 1 provisions showing 22 to 40 cents gain. Corn -+uying broadened after early downturns and led to a rise in some cases to above the season’s top quo- tations. Heavy rains over parts of Mlinois and Iowa were taken to mean further serious delay to corn plant- ing, and also to imply augmented crop stances, wheat gradually recovered from early weakness, and later scored gains. Corn crop experts said the season so far for corn had been distinctly) unfavorable. Oats borrowed firmness from corn, Provisions were responsive to up- FINAL GRAIN PRICES AT MINNEAPOLIS OFF Minneapolis.

He said his offer was made and accepted in open meeting and that he had held no secret conferences with any members of the commis- sion regarding it. Tim Flaherty, salesman for the Knight Printing company, Fargo, tes- tified that some counties have made it a custom to renew supply contracts in the “off” or non-election years, others always advertise, and some do neither, buying in the open market through county officials or the coun- ty purchasing committee. Advertise- ments-are general in election years, he said, to obtain bids on ballots and election supplies. McCurdy made frequent objection to testimony telling what other coun- ties did, claiming it could have no bearing on the legality of the action in Burleigh county, but the testimony was admitted when Sullivan pointed out that it bore directly on the ques- tion of whether the action of the Bur- leigh county defendants was cor- ru) ipt. Abern held that the general cus- tom of handling such matters bore directly on the question of good faith and over-ruled the objections. Flatherty said his firm, up to April 22, when the Burleigh county com- missioners were suspended from of- fice, had renewed printing and sup- ply contracts in Slope, Grant, Em- mons, Cass, Nelson, Rolette, Towner and Ransom counties, and that no new bids were asked in any of them.

At dawn when the fire was under control, a blackened desolate area was all that remained of approximately 175 business houses and residences. Three to four hundred of the 4,000 inhabitants were left homeless and the Red Cross chapters from Bangor and Bar Harbor moved in to care for them. A company of national guardsmen from Bar Harbor arrived soon after daybreak to assist the 100 special po- licemen, sworn in during the night, to guard the devastated area. The fire started in a frame store- house, formerly a theater. An early morning check by city of- ficials set the number of business buildings destroyed at approximately 50 and the residences at 125. A boat yard along the Union river, housing yachts and other vessels val- ued at $100,000 was destroyed. South Carolina Hit By Damaging Tornado Brunson, 8. C., May 8.—(#)—A tor- nado, cutting a path about two miles wide and approximately 30 miles long, swept across farming sections between here and Walterboro early Monday extensively damaging crops and un- roofing several dwellings. No one was reported injured. ‘The storm was followed by a heavy hail and rain which, reports said. “virtually ruined” cotton and fruit in the affected area. Trees were uprooted, a number of untenanted buildings demolished, and the roofs of at least three dwellings torn off. ‘Window panes in homes and plate glass in stores were blown out. For the most part, however, the wind roared across farm lands, skirt- ing villages and habitated: centers. ‘The storm reached its intensity at midnight and lasted about an hour.
